For your consideration are Vintage Western Cartridge Company 44-40 Winchester Cartridges: two (2) boxes of 50 bullets each, circa 1948-1949, end flap code "K1372C"; two boxes (2) of 50 cartridges each, circa 1962-1982. Also included is a Winchester Repeating Arms box of 50 cartridges, circa 1948-1949, end flap code is "4412 C". First set of boxes style reflects the "Bullseye" or "Lubaloy" era of Western packaging; second set of boxes feature the Western name over a large "X", and the Winchester Arms box features the Winchester logo from that time period. All the cartridges are 200 grain. Western was a major cartridge manufacturer in the early-to-mid 20th century, known for their "Bullseye" powder and high-quality ammunition. The 44-40 Winchester (also known as .44 WCF) is famously called "The Round that Won the West". Introduced in 1873 for the Winchester Model 1873, it was the first centerfire cartridge that could be used in both rifles and handguns (like the Colt Single Action Army), allowing frontiersmen to carry one type of ammunition for two weapons. Winchester Repeating Arms is an iconic American brand primarily known for its lever-action rifles, famously dubbed "The Gun That Won the West". The original company founded by Oliver Winchester in 1866 no longer exists as an independent entity as it was purchased by Western Cartridge Company (later Olin Corporation) in 1931. The boxes measure 2.5"W x 4.75"L x 1.75"D, collective weight is 11lb, 12oz.
